Aki Kaurismäki
Mercredi 26 octobre 2011Aki Kaurismäki did a wide variety of jobs including postman, dish-washer and film critic, before forming a production and distribution company, Villealfa (in homage to Jean-Luc Godard‘s Alphaville, une étrange aventure de Lemmy Caution (1965)) with his older brother Mika Kaurismäki, also a film-maker. Both Aki and Mika are prolific film-makers, and together have been responsible for one-fifth of the total output of the Finnish film industry since the early 1980s, though Aki’s work has found more favour abroad. His films are very short (he says a film should never run longer than 90 minutes, and many of his films are nearer 70), eccentric parodies of various genres (road movies, film noir, rock musicals), populated by lugubrious hard-drinking Finns and set to eclectic soundtracks, typically based around ’50s rock’n'roll.

Tony Kelly
Mercredi 13 juillet 2011Tony Kelly is a Dublin born photographer. He started his career covering the civil war in Rwanda and the war in Afghanistan. After a while he turned his lenses onto something quite less dramatic. He is certainly not afraid to show some flesh and he sure likes derision, vivid colors and everything that is beautiful and ugly, at the same time.
Ali Bosworth

Edward Weston
Jeudi 30 juin 2011« Look at his photographs, look at them carefully, then look at yourselves – not critically or with self-depreciation, or any sense of inferiority. You might discover, through Edward Weston’s work, how basically good you are, or might become. This is the way Edward would want it to be. »
Ansel Adams
Edward Weston, 1886 – 1958, was an American photographer. His work transcend the medium of photography and I believe that he is one of the most important figure that helped photography to reach the status of a form of art, not only a simple tool for documentation and representation. He created images that blurred, and at the same time melted the distinction between landscapes and body. He was incredibly gifted with an eye that was able to capture pure beauty and sensuality in his simplest forms.

E.J. Bellocq
Jeudi 16 juin 2011John Ernest Joseph Bellocq was an american photographer who lived in Storville, New Orleans. He dedicated a big part of his work and life documenting the darker side of his town notably the prostitutes and the opium dens. Most of these portraits dates from around 1912, a period when the bordellos were legal in Storyville. These photographs would have disappeared if it wasn’t for Lee Friedlander. Apparently the 8 x 10 glass plates were found in Bellocq drawers after he died. These were purchased by a collector named Larry Borenstein who showed them to Friedlander. He decided that these were too beautiful not to be preserved and seen so he printed the glass plates and this resulted in a major touring show and publication, Storyville Portraits organized by the Museum of Modern Art, in 1970-71. There is a lot of speculation about why the faces are scratched on some of the photograph. Some believe that they were done by his brother of was a Priest. One plausible explanation is that it was done by Bellocq himself to protect the identity of the girl, and the fact that they were probably scratched when the emulsion was wet. Still it has kept a very mystical aspect to his work that inspired a lot of others artists.
